'''Evandor''' is the continent where Western Calemerian civilization developed; its eastern border with Márusúturon does not have a commonly accepted definition, but the historically Evandorian cultural space is the area west of the Síluren mountains - Evandor's definition according to countries such as Ceria, Nordulik, and Holenagika. Its population is mostly concentrated in the northern temperate zone, where most of the continent lies (the whole of Gathurani, Majkjar, Raxinara, plus most of Kalo, parts of Hyxyn, and most of Holenagika are north enough to be considered subpolar and not temperate - though aside from the inland parts of Gathurani and Kalo they are considerably warmer than other subpolar areas at the same latitudes<ref>The Trîte Islands, a small island country in the sea between Nordûlik and Holenagika, is in the middle of this area but has a milder climate due to the sea.</ref>. | '''Evandor''' is the continent where Western Calemerian civilization developed; its eastern border with Márusúturon does not have a commonly accepted definition, but the historically Evandorian cultural space is the area west of the Síluren mountains - Evandor's definition according to countries such as Ceria, Nordulik, and Holenagika.

Holenagika is also by far Calémere's largest island. | ||
As a consequence of the colonization era, Evandorian cultures spread throughout the planet and political and economical structures in most of Calémere have been developed following Evandorian models. Cerian, and in some contexts also Nordûlaki (their roles have reversed in the last 150 years), are the two main working languages in most of Calémere. | As a consequence of the colonization era, Evandorian cultures spread throughout the planet and political and economical structures in most of Calémere have been developed following Evandorian models.
